Stitch-O-Mat is a non-profit community organisation in New Brighton, Christchurch, that's providing people with an opportunity to learn to sew, and to make a difference in their community.

Focusing on a different cause each month, Stitch-O-Mat provides a meaningful, arts-based opporutnitiy for people of all ages. From fairytale-inspired hospital gowns for the Christchurch Hospital Children's ward to eco-friendly bags and plastic-free packaging, the projects at Stitch-O-Mat are well worth checking out.

Stitch-O-Mat is based at ​Te Kura Tawhito, The Old School, in New Brighton, and anyone can come along to sew for themselves or get involved with a community project. There is no cost to be involved, but a koha/donation helps them to continue doing their great work.

We are very proud to have supported Stitch-O-Mat with a new website to help them reach a wider audience and promote their great work.
